I grew up on Winnie the Pooh, so in honor of Disney’s Christopher Robin coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital on November 6th and our Hundred Acre Wood friends, I’m sharing my favorite honey infused beauty products and benefits. I even dressed Charlie as Pooh for our screening and have been saying “Silly Old Bear”, to him ever since.

This movie made me me so happy and nostalgic for my childhood. It was the perfect blend of fantasy and reality and watching my much loved childhood friends, Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Rabbit, Roo, Kanga, Owl, and Eeyore come to life was so special. You’ll probably enjoy it more than your kids… and relate to Christopher Robin; who as an over worked adult misplaces his priorities until he gets some help from some childhood friends. And what’s better than honey, Pooh? Not much when you think about the benefits of both eating it and putting it on our skin. So much more than a delicious treat, it’s used in many beauty products because of it’s anti-bacterial, antioxidant and moisture boosting properties.

Honey also plays well with other ingredients and is a great formula enhancer! Origins took their best-selling Clear Improvement Charcoal mask earlier this year and added Golden Wildflower & Fermented Honey to create Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask. Historically, charcoal masks can be very drying and for more oily skin, however with the addition of honey it’s enabled more normal to dry skin to draw out impurities that charcoal is famous for without the tight, drying feel.

It’s never too early to start making your holiday wish-list and this year, Nanette Lepore for Origins’ limited edition cosmetics bag tops ours! Perfectly timed for travel season, updated your carry-all to the fashion forward clutch that easily transitions from day to night.

Using experiences from her global travel adventures, shopping in souks and markets from Istanbul to Morocco and Venice, Nanette uses inspiration from the bright patterns, artisan crafts and hand embroidery to design many of her signature looks. Nanette’s cultural fascination compels her to translate these crafts for the modern day woman.

Today, she has used the embellishments, motifs and print designs from around the world to create the ethnic-infused Nanette Lepore for Origins cosmetics bag. Mirroring both Lepore and Origin’s sustainable practices, The Nanette
Lepore for Origins cosmetics bag is made with 100% recycled cotton.

Available at Origins.com, Origins Retail Stores and select department stores during the month of November, the limited edition cosmetic bag includes a travel size Drink Up™ Hydrating lip balm with any $65 purchase.

Earth Day is almost here and I’ve enjoyed watching so many beauty brands get involved to help raise awareness.

Recognizing that ‘product packaging accounts for 1/3 of all landfill waste,’ Origins is encouraging consumers to recycle. They are even willing to do it for you. Bring in your empty cosmetic and toiletry products to any origins store or counter nationwide (any brand) and they will recycle it. Origins will even treat you to a free sample for your environmental efforts.

As if that’s not nice enough, as part of their Origins Rocks Earth Month initiative they offering some additional really amazing incentives to recycle:

On Earth Day, April 22nd bring in an empty bottle (any brand) to your local Origins store and they will give you a new full-size Origins Cleanser (A Perfect World or Checks and Balances). Get there early, it’s only while supplies last!

I love the smell of peppermint and it’s ability to relax and relieve my headaches. Right now I’m loving Jurlique’s Peppermint Pure Essential Oil and Origins Peppermint, Basil, Rosemary Glass Candle to help relieve my stress.

Origins Peppermint, Basil, Rosemary Glass Candle

This candle fills any room with it’s soothing blend of peppermint mixed with basil and rosemary, infusing an amazing smell that helps me decompress after a long day. Available in two sizes, 2″x2″ ($10), and 3″x 4″ ($30).

Jurlique’s Peppermint Pure Essential Oil is great for relieving headaches, sinusitis, congestions, and nausea. This product works great in a vaporizer or I put a little on my temples and palms, take a few breaths and just inhale the oil to relax. I keep one at the office, and I do not fly without it.
